This Dragon Quest XI Controller is… Interesting

So, we all know Japan is one very strange, yet interesting place. This confirms that once again. 
So this controller is 145mm width x 145mm depth x 124mm height, it WON’T be comfortable at all to hold. 

I’m still rather shocked this thing actually is real, it’s a completely different type of DualShock 4, if we can even call it that at this point…
This’ll run you 9,980 yen and will release on July 29th along with the game. 
Dragon Quest XI will be hitting 3DS & PS4 (weird combo, I know) on July 29th, 2017 for Japan with a Switch version also on the way. As for NA and EU, we’ll have to wait for a date.
